The Geed Lab asks a simple question: when and how should we intervene after a stroke so the brain's neuroplasticity actually translates into better lives? We study the brief windows when the brain is unusually responsive to experience, and test ways to turn that elegant biology into concrete gains in everyday function. 

Our work sits at the intersection of mechanistic neuroscience and clinical neurorehabilitation. We combined transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) with high-resolution measures of upper extremity behavior - electromyograms (EMG), accelerometry, force sensors, and standardized clinical tests to link circuit-level neuroplasticity with what people can and do use in their daily lives. 

From there, we build and evaluate interventions that are both biologically informed, and pragmatically scalable: critical period rehabilitation protocols, telerehabilitation adaptations such as tele-CPASS, and equity-focused care models in the US-Mexico border region that address health literacy and access barriers. 

We invite healthy volunteers and individuals who have experienced a stroke  to explore the Research tab. Please send us an email or call (see below) to find how you can become a research participant.

We are happy to provide transportation for research visits, just let us know.
